About

Norman is the sixth born in a family of seven. Both parents are unemployed and the family depends on part-time jobs (e.g. collecting firewood for local teachers and working on other households' fields) for survival. On average, the family earns a monthly income of approximately $50, which by no means is adequate to support the family. The last born of the family is attending Grade 2 at Chayamiti Primary School. Although Norman's other siblings have finished Form Four, there are no employment opportunities and as a result they are still staying with their parents at home. After graduation, Norman hopes that he will be able to provide educational assistance to other students who are in need. Norman is 2nd in his class.
